Get Fresh Ideas for Home Improvement at Edmonton Home and Garden Show
Winter is finally over, and now is the perfect time to be thinking about improving your home and beautifying your garden. Whether you are a supplier or professional in the field, or someone who wants to renew your home and garden, there is much to see and do at the Edmonton Home and Garden Show.
If you're finally wandering out of your winter hibernation, you will probably notice leaves still in your gutters and dead plants in the flowerbeds that were so lovely last year. With the changing weather, you may also notice cracks or holes in your driveway and sidewalks.
Home and Garden Professionals
The specialists at the Home and Garden Show have plenty of tips for springtime chores that will make your house and yard more enjoyable this summer. The professionals bring their best advice, along with knowledge about their services and products. Here are some of their tips for spring.
Low yard areas near your foundation are waiting to be filled, using compact soil. The rains of spring may cause flooding in low areas, leading to flooding and possible damage to your foundation, say the experts at HGTV. In addition, if water pools in low areas during the summer months, you'll have insects breeding there.
Home inspectors at the Edmonton Home and Garden Show are happy to share tips with you about the gutters on your home. If they are leaky or loose, the draining water may end up in your crawl space or basement. Be sure that all downspouts are clear, too, and that they lead at least four to six feet away from the house.
Deck building and maintenance professionals can help you to spruce up your deck. Check the wood trim around your deck and railing, and make repairs before the spring rains do any more damage to your exposed wood.
Roofing contractors advise that you examine your shingles, or have them do it, to make sure that you didn't have any shingles damaged or lost over the bitter winter months. If your roof is old, you may be looking at budgeting for a new roof. Summer damages shingles, too, so check them again in the fall.
Tips from Lawn and Garden Specialists
Spring is the perfect time to check your battery- and gas-powered lawn equipment, ensuring that it will be ready when you need to use it. Your yard work will be easier if your equipment is clean and cutting blades are sharpened.
Landscape specialists will be happy to share ideas for using grasses and flowers to brighten your lawn and make it easier to maintain. Over large expanses of lawn, contrasting textures and colors look attractive. Plant your spring bulbs and have your landscape maintenance person add fertilizer, and advise you on mixing perennial and annual flowers to brighten your garden.
Feather grass is attractive foliage to break up clumps of flowers that may include white roses and colored flowers. This will give you a looser, more open planting style that gives your traditional border a modern twist. You can use ornamental grasses, as well.
There are so many fresh ideas flowing at the Edmonton Home and Garden Show that you'll come away with many new ideas for your house and landscaping.
